Hello i have the intel 7501wv2 serverboard and i am running CentOS 5 like so also i have 533 dual xeons in this board and read some stuff on the wiki about cpu sensors and using xeontemp not to clear on most of what i need to do. Linux canmail.org 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 10 06:50:22 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Below the output of the lm-sensors detection wizard i downloaded the newest one. I have tried to load the modules recommended at the end of the wizard and i get this. [root at canmail /]# /sbin/modprobe ipmi-si [root at canmail /]# /sbin/modprobe ipmisensors FATAL: Module ipmisensors not found. one works one does not to sure about the alias stuff anywho i get this error when i run the sensors command. I read some stuff in this list to check for /devs so i did and the one required seems to be there. [root at canmail /]# sensors Can't access procfs/sysfs file Unable to find i2c bus information; For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors was compiled with sysfs support! For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'! [root at canmail /]# ls -l /dev/i2c-0 crw------- 1 root root 89, 0 Aug 21 21:54 /dev/i2c-0 [root at canmail /]# ls -l /dev/i2c* crw------- 1 root root 89, 0 Aug 21 21:54 /dev/i2c-0 [root at canmail c0mputerking]# perl "sensors-detect?format=txt" # sensors-detect revision $Revision$ This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801CA/CAM ICH3 We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-i801' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): YES Module loaded successfully. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0580 (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): YES Client found at address 0x44 Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No Client found at address 0x52 Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Yes (confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip) Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... No Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'... No Probing for `VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors'... No Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... Success! (confidence 4, driver `ipmisensors') Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... Yes Found `Nat. Semi. PC8741x Super IO' (no hardware monitoring capabilities) Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... No Some CPUs or memory controllers may also contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? (YES/no): AMD K8 thermal sensors... No Intel Core family thermal sensor... No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `ipmisensors' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, address 0xca0 Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 4) I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. Just press ENTER to continue: To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modprobe.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # You must also install and load the IPMI modules modprobe ipmi-si # Chip drivers # Warning: the required module ipmisensors is not currently installed # on your system. For status of 2.6 kernel ports check # http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices. If driver is built # into the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe ipmisensors # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are loaded. -- Computer King & CaN Mail - Sales Service Hosting Backup http://www.computerking.ca http://www.canmail.org NEW!!!
